Empty Wild Area & I Need Fuel 🚙

I carry on with my mini roadtrip and end up in the Tongariro National Park. Its below Taupo in the middle of the north island of New Zealand. Such a beautiful spot... I was blown away. I stay at Whakpapa Holiday Park which is the ideal spot for all the hikes in the area.

Hi K Great camping area Listen When your filling your propane bottle for the hob or heater check your gas gauge as well no matter if it needs it or not fill it up that 's the rule of thumb

[@annar6430]

Lovely video K. You are now in your comfort zone.

[@knsframe7712]

So lovely. Thanks for sharing

You had me white knuckled as you were heading out to get gas.Other wise a great video in a lovely place..When you were talking about a volcanic episode 25 years ago I seem to remember there was a place in NZ that uses heat from the earth to make electricity. Btw Karen the turquoise colour of your jacket suits you and that lovely blonde

Top tip when low on gas, don't speed, take it easy, and leave the van behind. I'd invest in a carry can of diesel. Great video!

[@Tomcroese]

Thank you for a nice trip out! Is sooo nice to see you enjoy the nature!

[@jimreynolds9195]

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for taking us on to such a lovely locale.

Greetings. I stayed at Whakapapa for one night just over a year ago. It is indeed a beautiful spot, with very good facilities and friendly staff to go along with the awesome location. I particularly like that all of the caravan sites are individual, in amongst the trees/bush so that you are not looking straight at the caravan//campervan next to you. The night I was there was clear and the view of the stars was breathtaking.

Great camp site views were amazing thanks for sharing 😃

[@rwiliamson8051]

[@annemarsden2323]

Nicely maintained trails.

[@jamesedwardson605]

Nice to see she is fine...and loving life...

[@brec5879]

I’m amazed you are not nervous staying out in the wild on your own. I guess NZ is safer than a lot of countries. Fabulous scenery Tnks for sharing. I’ve only started following you so I need to figure out how to commence at the beginning. Enjoy your adventure Karen.

It's a wonderful area and all the walks are beautiful. I love that the Whakapapa camp is nestled in the beech forest too. You'd have been ok to get fuel at National Park - it's down hill all the way from the camp!

[@altacat9702]

Beautiful!! ...fun to see what NZ is all about. ....I always have wanted to slip a "Walk" sticker over the E on the fuel gauge : )
